What is recorded here
No record exists for Headstone in Castlejordan. The name may point to a new feature, a local alias, or a mistaken entry. The answer must still use the supplied facts and admit when the factual conflict cannot be resolved.
Within the graveyard associated with the site of the medieval parish church of Cloghjordan (ME052-003----), and close to the perimeter at E. the headstone (Wth 0.5m; H 0.77-0.87m; T 0.18m) to Francis Digbie has an English inscription in roman capitals carved in false relief, with the date 1?62, probably 1562. It reads: HERE LIETHE THE / BODIE OF FRANCES / DIGBIE OF COLSIL / ESQVIRE WHO / DECEASSED I / X DAE OF IVNE / 1?62. It was first recorded by Moore (c. 1975) who identifies Colsil as Colehill, a townland c. 2km to the NE.
